Genuine curiosity, lot of reading on Wikipedia, and some good books on the subject.

Interesting. I remember taking a look at the Higgs thing on Wikipedia. I think I lasted 2 minutes before my brain hurt, and I promise I'm actually fairly smart. Cool post btw.

I know [i] of[/i] a lot of these things, but I fully reference several pages of Wikipedia to make sure I'm right before posting. A lot of th particle stuff is so intertwined that it's easy to mix things up.

It takes a true science fiction fan to bend real science to define a made up word. I admire your tenacity.

I bet. I'm sure even top scientists would have to find a reference to the Higgs thing before attempting to explain it. I just looked at it again on Wikipedia and gave up quickly lol. Those guys over at CERN are incredible. I think it was discovered there? If not, that place is still amazing.

It was confirmed there, yes.
